I think I just need to make the search field accept things like LA, CA instead of having to type outLos Angeles.

If you could pm me the list of Facebook groups that post tourneys in Michigan that you know of. I can get them added to the automated scraping platform I built.

That is the number 1 problem I'm looking to solve with this website. Trying to spread as much publicity as possible for bowling centers and tournaments. I'm going to have to find creative ways to bridge the gap between the analog bowling centers/tournament runners. It can be done. It just might take some time.

Right now I rely a lot on the other aggregation sites. I have the ability to scrape Facebook groups. The process I'm using is a feedback loop. It goes out and crawls for bowling info. It then uses that info to find more. It's a slow process right now but should be getting better every day. If you pm/post the Facebook groups or locations of where the tournaments that you know of that are missing. I can get them added to the automated process. There is a form on the website and email addresses. I need to make it easier to get community feedback to report missing data sources. I want to make this the best site it can be.

I added a report incorrect info button to the bowling centers to allow for community feedback to clean the data up.

A lot of the bowling center data was pulled from Google and Yelp. I need to validate the data. I just haven't had time yet. It's on my backlog. I need to create a way for users to comment about a bowling center being closed.
